    Rabbi/Sorry Bhai: Whom were they apologising to?
    I wasn’t alone in wondering why jalate hai.n from Onir’s Sorry Bhai owed something to ballo from Rabbi Shergill’s Avengi Ja Nahin. It isn’t surprising, really, when you notice that Gaurav Dayal, the music director for Onir’s flick is credited as the music programmer and producer for ballo on Rabbi’s album. Rabbi sued, but unfortunately...

    as DHAAL as it gets
    Responsible for Divyashakti, an adequately downbeat tale of revenge driven by principles and loss bolstered by an interesting villain, Tau (pronounced: taauu), played by Amrish Puri and two films with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan (Main Khiladi Tu Anari, a rip-off of The Hard Way and Keemat), Sameer Malkan was last heard of when he finished a songless thriller shot in...

    the music of CASH: it’s a gas
    After the catchy, layered and eminently entertaining Dus Vishal-Shekhar return to toss in tunes for Anubhav Sinha’s crime caper Cash.

    very odd, what happens in a world without children’s voices: notes on CHILDREN OF MEN
    Alfonso Cuarón achieves a rare and deeply satisfying balance between form and content with Children of Men, a tale set in a dystopian future (2027, we are told) plagued by infertility and hurtling to doom as people and lands are devastated by war, civil and political breakdown and terrorism.
